Question

An individual is presented with three different glasses of cola, labeled C, D, and P. He is asked to taste all three and then list them in the order of preference. Suppose the same cola has actually been put into all three glasses. Which of the following describes the sample space for this experiment? S = {CDP, CPD, PCD, PDC, DCP, DPC} S = {CCC, CCD, CCP, CDC, CDD, CDP, CPC, CPD, CPP, DCC, DCD, DCP, DDC, DDD, DDP, DPC, DPD, DPP, PCC, PCD, PCP, PDC, PDD, PDP, PPC, PPD, PPP} S = {C, D, P} None of the above.

Explanation / Answer

Here he is asked to list the 3 colas in order of preference, there could clearly be the following possibilities here.

Therefore the sample space here would be clearly the first option :

S = { CDP, CPD, PCD, PDC, DCP, DPC }
